  • CalebGamerOW Proto VI (@CalebGamerOW) reported

    @itssekhmet @PlayOverwatch I'm just using common sense that's all which I do my research before I comment on stuff. The Overwatch devs are fully aware of people asking for content for awhile. If you still have a problem with that I suggest you block me if you don't like seeing me.

  • ummsofiaa ʚ 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐚 ɞ (@ummsofiaa) reported

  • geoalfio88 geoalfio (@geoalfio88) reported

    @SwissMadeFPS @Blizzard_Ent True but they might be issues harder to pinpoint and take action against, because of overwatch's inadequate report system. Some of the options are pretty much never used, while others are too vague and fit many possibilities, a revamp of the system would be greatly appreciated.

    Ready to hear how ******* ****** Overwatch competitive is? Well here it comes; I usually have very fine internet and everything runs smoothly. Well today there was connection error in our area and I only heard about like 2 minutes ago (story happenes 30 minutes ago)

  • KerMillie14 Ker718 (@KerMillie14) reported

    @SilkBot3 @LazPei @thicc_stick_boi I’m playing Overwatch in 1080p 120 FPS on series X via an LG cpu monitor- I totally get it. This monitor isn’t even close to top of the line, but it has a buttery smooth feel. 1ms input lag. I don’t think I can go back to 4K UHD tv’s any more. I really don’t miss the resolution.

  • NINESTACK_ NINESTACK (@NINESTACK_) reported

    I should be sleeping yet I'm watching streamers play Overwatch. Why can't I fix my sleep schedule?

  • dustinbrown Dustin with prep time (@dustinbrown) reported

    @TheCartelDel Comes down to marketing budget. Realism is just an AD decision. A decision made in service of the specific game being made. Sure it can impact dev costs but that isn’t what makes a game AAA. Anybody going to tell me BotW or Overwatch aren’t AAA?

  • sSoulheim Soulheim (@sSoulheim) reported

    Overwatch is broken. My tank queue time for qp is longer than 15 sec o-o

  • ThunderCJackson Thunder (unending agony) (@ThunderCJackson) reported

    @Incel_Gamer gonna need some pointers, already failed this second mission once and i know it gave me trouble on pc. assuming overwatch usage is important already

  • chefjay667 Lexreon faced Luigi thats just vibin (@chefjay667) reported

    Bruh we be complaining bout stasis when overwatch be bitching about it since 2018 (at least when it became an issue)

  • CrossFire43 Michael Barr Jr (@CrossFire43) reported

    @NOVA_S118 @Big_E Sadly that won't fix it...especially not for pc. Look at games like cod, fall guys, overwatch. Cheaters are everywhere sadly. Kind of why I prefer staying on console most of the time. Cause damn it's bad with cheaters on pc.

  • kiralio Tuxedo Catfish (@kiralio) reported

    i'm gonna pick on one of my favorite whipping boys of game design, Overwatch, because Blizzard basically can't stop faceplanting into this problem over and over again lol

  • thefluvveh fluvveh (@thefluvveh) reported

    @HellYeahTy @Boogie2988 It was a huge problem with overwatch when it came out cheaters would go to net cafes and abused the unlimited game license to cheat in South Korea.If they got banned they could just make another account for free and do again. This caused mass exodus of Koreans to the NA server.

  • Billym_lzg William (@Billym_lzg) reported

    @chyld989 @Battlefield Idk, as a console player i dont think i had any problems finding a lobby, uk when we do now? With crossplay turned off, i wonder why lol. crossplay was ruined when pc users convinced devs opt out was the way to go. Apex and overwatch(minus no aim assist+region lock) did it right

  • Harm_RH Harm RH (@Harm_RH) reported

    Overwatch should fix their POTG sometimes loll

  • horrorknife jonah ⚣ (@horrorknife) reported

    ******* will say you changing your name is too hard bc ur trans but then call u by the name of the character ur playing in overwatch in the heat of the moment without an issue

  • RedexBB redex (@RedexBB) reported

    @stanLOONA672 @nonsenseOW @DamienDormoy Wait doesn't this guy ddos people on overwatch? Good. He deserves it.

  • lylikers buried gay (@lylikers) reported

    my issue with overwatch is people completely disregard casuals and the entire culture of the game is centered around pro play and masters-t500 when the majority of the playerbase is in mf gold

  • WolfyMiwi 🔞Miwi(Multi-Muse)🔞 (@WolfyMiwi) reported

    //New Issue of Verses who'll never or very rarely if ever RP with me: RWBY, Genshin, Naruto, Fate, Kancolle, Azur Lane, League of Legends, Overwatch, High School DxD, Dragon Maid. I don't think I missed anyone this time.

    FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU, sony vegas just crashed on me 2 times in a row and i lost 2 and a half hours of editing ffs !!!! #sonyvegas #crash i guess no overwatch video for tonight so a chill forza one it is

  • ReelRhoades Randy Rhoades (@ReelRhoades) reported

    @MattsRealTweet @Jewthulhu @IGN Competitive gaming as in E-Sports or competitive gaming as a mode? Because the major problem with E-Sports was how it ruins individual games (Overwatch) more than the industry, although the scale and reasons for why ES is bad is different.

  • KuwaCos river (@KuwaCos) reported

    @JC_136 three lane maps arent even bad tho. the problem is when games like overwatch that took too much from that sphere are like "we need flanks" and then have what are clearly 3 demarcated quasi hallways and everyone else mimes that cos of lowest common denominator game dev

  • Mekubo_ Mekubo (@Mekubo_) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Ok? But the games stale af, fix it before dropping a overwatch 'album'

  • hoodniggahoshi azure ☀️🌈 dookiehole soaking wet (@hoodniggahoshi) reported

    this overwatch lag is pissing me tf off

  • vagrantaidan Aidan (@vagrantaidan) reported

    @TwoLiterSoda @TheActMan_YT He bought it off of stockx and has resold it because you can't make returns. it was overheating doing literally any task. It would have weird triggers in certain games that would crash it such as typing in overwatch chat or dumping large amounts of items into a minecraft chest
